		.RSET Statement Details.   QuickSCREEN      Details      Example      Contents      Index ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ RSET Statement Details Syntax   RSET stringvariable=stringexpression   The stringvariable is usually a random-access file field defined in a FIELD statement, although it can be any string variable. The stringexpression is the value assigned to the variable.   ž If stringexpression requires fewer bytes than were defined for     stringvariable in the FIELD statement, the RSET statement right-justifies     the string in the field (LSET left-justifies the string). Spaces are used     to pad the extra positions.   ž If the string is too long for the field, both LSET and RSET truncate     characters from the right. Numeric values must be converted to strings     before they are justified with the RSET or LSET statements.   The RSET statement can be used with string variables unrelated to FIELD statements. When used with a fixed-length string variable, the value is right-justified and left-padded with blanks.   When RSET is used with a variable-length string, the string is treated as a fixed field. The length of the field is the length of the value the variable had before the RSET statement.
